Abstract: A method of Applying molten solder onto a desired point of a small workpiece, such as a printed circuit board, under well-controlled condition. A solter tip is temporarily held above a solder melting pot end then allowed to fall into a solder melting pot in which the solder tip is melted and held for a pre-set time duration. In this manner, the scattering in velosity of the falling solder and the dislocation of the fallen tip are minimized to control the temperature of the molten solder precisely. A soldering apparatus used for the practice of the method of this invention is also provided. In a preferred embodiment, the soldering apparatus is provided with means for removing the debris sticking to the inner face of the soldr melting pot.

Abstract: A method of producing an optical multi-fibre cable element provided with a secondary sheathing by extruding a loose secondary sheathing (10) around a fibre bundle (9) and providing the fibres with a desired extra length with respect to the sheathing, the fibres being guided in such a manner that the position of the fibres varies continuously in the step of providing the extra length. To produce an untwisted cable element and to avoid variation in the fibre length, the secondary sheathing together with its fibre bundle (9) is twisted (12) around its axis after the extrusion step (1) to vary the twisting position of the fibre bundle when the sheathing approaches the step (3) of providing the extra length. An apparatus suitable for realizing the method comprises twisting means (7) positioned after the extruder and before the device providing the extra length. The twisting means twist (12) the sheathing and the fibre bundle, the twist being straightened after the device.

Abstract: A one dimensional image sensor is disclosed which has a series of photodiodes ( S₁-S₃ ) to be electrically scanned by voltages ( V     p1     -V     p3   ) developed by a sawtooth voltage ( V     d     ; V₁, V₂ ) for generating electric outputs representative of incident optical energy. The scanning voltages for the photodiodes have so far risen beyond their predetermined saturation points with an increase in the sawtooth voltage, deteriorating the image sensor response to low intensity optical input. 
     For the elimination of this weakness of the prior art, there is provided a bias source (22; 122, 122') which generates a periodically varying bias voltage ( V     b   ) in synchronism with the sawtooth voltage ( V     d     ; V₁, V₂ ). The bias voltage has a series of ramps that are opposite in the direction of progress to the ramps of the sawtooth voltage, and so serves to prevent or reduce the undesired rises of the scanning voltages beyond their saturation points.

Abstract: In the generation of the transmitting frequency (4) of the transmitting oscillator (1) in previous proximity switches, the fact that the resonant frequency of the transmitting oscillator changes with temperature fluctuation was not taken into account. The lack in adaptation of the transmitting frequency (4) to the instantaneous temperature-related resonant frequency of the transmitting oscillator (1) results in losses in the sensitivity of the proximity switch. This can be eliminated by using a current-controlled transmitting oscillator (1) which is fed with a control current (3) determining the transmitting frequency (4), which control current tracks temperature fluctuations with the aid of an NTC thermistor (2) in connection with a resistance circuit. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A system for interfacing an aircraft flight management computer (FMC) (24) with an airline host computer via an Aircraft Communication and Reporting System (ACARS) and a service provider ground network uses a first table which contains data for converting between an ACARS message format and an FMC processing format. Each ACARS message includes an identifier portion and a data portion. Each entry in the first table contains (i) data for converting the data portion of the message between ACARS message format and FMC processing format, and (ii) an identifying number. The system also includes a second table (loadable by the end user) which contains selected message identifiers followed by appropriate identifying numbers for referencing the conversion data in the first table. In order to convert between ACARS message format and FMC processing format, the identifier portion of the ACARS message is looked up in the second table to obtain the associated identifying number(s). Then by locating the identifying number(s) in the first table, the proper data for performing the conversion is retrieved. This permits the end user to make changes to the FMC/ACARS interface, such as changes to message format and message identifiers, by changing only the loadable table. The system also includes loadable tables (i) for providing display prompt information to the pilot for initiating downlinks, and (ii) for automatically initiating a downlink upon the occurrence of a predetermined event.

Abstract: A quench detector for a superconducting coil is provided which utilizes an optical coupling and a rotary encoder. The presence of a resistive voltage in the superconducting coil created by a quench will cause a rotatable readout coil to move. Movement of the readout coil will be detected by light passing through or reflected by an optical encoder, which will interrupt or transmit light passing from one or more light sources towards one or more light sensors. Preferred embodiments utilize optic fibers for the light sources and sensors, which are unaffected by the high magnetic fields or hostile environment of the superconductor coil.

Abstract: Apparatus and an accompanying method for implementing a communications protocol for use in generally a distributed, and particularly a highly parallel, multi-processing system, for communicating application data of arbitrarily varying strides between separate processors and generally without the need for intermediate data storage. Specifically, application data is transferred through a succession of packets between originating and destination application programs (252), with each packet containing a partial data message. Each partial data message contains a portion of the data that is stored in a stride one portion of an originating application data memory. Upon reception, each data portion is written into a stride one portion of a destination application data memory. An application interface (254), executing independently at both the originating and destination processing elements locally and respectively determines the starting address and length of each separate stride one data portion stored in the originating application data memory and for each separate stride one area in the destination application program memory that is to receive application data. Advantageously, through use of these independent application interfaces, application data can be transferred from the originating application data memory at one arbitrarily varying stride to the destination application memory with a different arbitrarily varying stride but without the need to pass the data through any input/output (I/O) buffers.
